Hey guys! I just got my LCD (R71b) today(got it around 1pm). Meant to say some feedback sooner but I had classes till 6. Yes, I still go to school, when i got home, couldn't post still, coz brother was playing Flyff(on my computer). I spent a few hours with the TV and I'm actually pretty happy with it, although I still kinda wish it was a N71
but I don't regret what I decided.
About the LCD, this definitely beats my old 32-inch widescreen CRT TV, it was a Sony DRX9 which I got from the pier around 6 months ago (which I'm now trying to get rid of, but has served me well).
Some things I tried with it were:
-hook it up to my PS2 w/ component cables and watched some original dvds on it, ones i tried were Advent Children, which looked awesome and South Park Season 8 (this was a gift from my older brother and i was saving it so i could use it on this TV, wasn't really to test it)
-tried to hook it up to my laptop but realized I got the wrong VGA cables..
-played with the options a bit and checked out video settings and stuff
Some things that I should be trying out on the TV but couldn't:
-I wanted to hook it up to my 360, but its broken coz of 3rl
-my Wii hasn't arrived yet so..couldn't try that either, got the cables though
-don't have a home theater yet...
I still haven't thought of a pros/cons list yet...
About cable broadcast, I can't quote on that, we don't have cable
and I planned on using this TV solely for videogames, watching movies/anime and using it as a secondary monitor.
Rating: 7.5/10 - might change, since like I said, I haven't fully tested it out yet.
If you're wondering how a guy like me could get something like this, well, it's a gift from my mom (she's the best) coz it's my birthday on Saturday .
